Chapter 634: Causes of the End of the Law Era, Divine Monarch and Divine Empress

“Sir, is there a problem with changing a Ten Seat every ten years?”

Long Linglong looked at Yun Ye, finding his smile somewhat strange.

“A replacement every ten years means that either one Ten Seat has to leave or a newcomer has to defeat a Ten Seat.”

“With He Shiguang’s strength, if someone can defeat him after ten years, doesn’t that indicate that the times are rapidly advancing? Isn’t that interesting?”

Yun Ye explained with a smile.

In the Red Heaven realm, the lack of talented individuals makes it hard for anyone to rise, but the Dao devices provide a shroud of order that is absolute. One can live peacefully, surpassing even modern times.

Though the talented ones are few and cannot make everyone extraordinary, fierce competition ensures that there must be a rotation of Ten Seats every ten years. Even the Ten Seats must strive to improve, preventing the situation from stagnating into a lifeless pool.

This is already a relatively good era compared to the past, where one individual stood high above, exploiting vast territories, which is a refreshing change.

This is just the beginning; if they can enter the era of Heaven’s Cavern, everything will undergo a comprehensive elevation, provided the population is controlled and society can become extraordinary.

Of course, this era also has many drawbacks, especially in the recent thousand years, as the Divine Empress gradually relinquishes power, paving the way for the Celestial Empire’s third-generation heir.

Many major powers may not clearly see the current situation; they just follow the trend and believe they have no problems. But Yun Ye understands Wuge’s nature well; a killing intent is likely already shrouding the Red Heaven. Before the third-generation heir takes over, a major upheaval that will shock the world is bound to occur.

The Heavenly Dry Universe is not a private possession; authority cannot be easily transferred. When Yun Ye handed power to Shui Wuge, it already diminished his strength once.

If Shui Wuge were to fall, the third-generation heir would gain even less power, and perhaps would not be able to suppress current events.

In this era, there are too many unbeatable elders, and while they have not entered the era of Heaven’s Cavern, it is clear that some will achieve that state.

The only question is the realm that leads to the attainment of Heaven’s Cavern.

Is it in the Honored Position, the True Realm, or the Mystic Realm?

No…

Could it be that initial speculation has come true?

With the Heavenly Stem Cave casting a shadow over the three heavens, is the only way to open the Heaven’s Cavern to resist the Heavenly Stem Cave?

If that is the case, opening the Heaven’s Cavern becomes impossible, and holding the Dao Classics offers no chance; the Heavenly Stem Cave is simply too powerful.

“Now I understand. I said there was fertile ground for Shi Kong’s emergence nine thousand years ago; how could the world not have entered the era of Heaven’s Cavern?”

“Is it that the Master of Heaven’s Cavern in this world cannot break through the barriers of the Heavenly Dry Universe and can only open the Heaven’s Cavern in the outer heavens?”

“Thus, the Ten Seats can only serve for a hundred years because the true geniuses will have long left the Red Heaven realm by then to open the Heaven’s Cavern?”

Yun Ye’s expression changed.

Nine thousand years ago, the sealing of Shi Kong was also partly due to this reason. However, at that time, no one could open the Heaven’s Cavern, and he had not focused energy on it due to various contingencies he established.

Knowing such things holds little meaning; one should let nature take its course.

The main concern for Yun Ye at that time was to resolve the mental issues of cultivators and to establish order.

Thinking back now, it is no surprise that the Heavenly Dry Universe, being so powerful, has become the chief culprit obstructing the development of the Red Heaven.

Old things always tend to hinder new things, especially when old things develop to an extreme; they exhibit considerable inertia, leaving no opportunity for new challenges.

The idealized notion that civilization continuously improves with time is quite unrealistic.

“If the Master of Heaven’s Cavern is opening the Heaven’s Cavern in the outer heavens, it naturally leads to the spirit energy being continuously drained, and the Red Heaven is destined to enter the end of the law era.”

……

February 5, 19100 of the New Heaven Calendar.

With five days left until the opening of Zixue Academy, Yun Ye and Long Linglong arrived once again to discuss speaking arrangements with the academy.

They got out of the car and walked quietly along the bluestone pathway towards the first-year student council office.

Zixue Academy is vast, occupying one-tenth of the entire San Gong City.

The entire path is lined with fragrant flowering trees. The campus is filled with various facilities.

As they continued walking, passing several teaching buildings, they found a central square with two enormous statues standing proudly.

The statues, a man and a woman, a king and a queen, face away from each other and exude a magnificent presence, capturing attention.

Upon reaching the statues, Long Linglong respectfully bowed.

These statues were of two well-known figures; Long Linglong assumed Yun Ye knew who they were and said after her bow:

“The Divine Monarch and the Divine Empress truly command respect. They are true legends, and if one were to choose a dream, I believe every practitioner in Red Heaven aspires to achieve their level of greatness.”

“The Divine Monarch opened Heaven and Earth, united Red Heaven, created a prosperous era lasting thousands of years, achieved the Holy Path, and certified the two wishes to forge a New Heaven, driving out the celestial clans, creating the Holy Path Nine Weapons to safeguard the human race’s fortune, establishing the formation of heaven and earth to lay the foundation for future order.”

“The Divine Empress inherited the Heavenly Stem, unified the Celestial Empire, initiated the Multiverse Marker Plan, explored the multiverse, suppressed the celestial clans, defended against True Immortals, and opened a brand-new Immortal Path system with the Tomorrow Dao Weapon, which ultimately led to the complete prosperity of the human race.”

The two statues are the founders of the Celestial Empire.

New Heaven Divine Monarch.

New Heaven Divine Empress.

They are not husband and wife, but siblings who replaced and maintained the order of Red Heaven for twenty thousand years, keeping True Immortals at bay, their achievements being immeasurable.

“……”

Yun Ye cast a surprised glance at Long Linglong.

Is this girl mistaken about something?

The Wanling Group is a front for the celestial clans and cannot be called friendly with the Celestial Empire, belonging to a top-tier group that would be swiftly eliminated upon exposure.

How can the daughter of the Wanling Group’s leader admire the Divine Monarch and Divine Empress?

How peculiar.

It’s simply remarkable.

Yun Ye couldn’t say much, so he silently wished Long Linglong well with his eyes.

“It seems that Liu Sheng doesn’t like these two…”

Long Linglong’s expression slightly changed.

She also realized something was off.

Although she didn’t have a full understanding of the Wanling Group, as a top-tier talent, she was no fool and could grasp some things.

Her earlier statement had come from her heart; she indeed admired these legendary figures.

But upon seeing Yun Ye’s reaction, she immediately understood that the forces behind the Wanling Group might be in opposition to these two.

Even if this was just a possibility, it caused her expression to falter, revealing a significant clash in her philosophy.

“How could that be? Who doesn’t admire these two? They are simply too distant. They are legends; it wouldn’t be too late to think about it at the level of the Ten Seats.”

Yun Ye responded.

He had various seals and was under the watch of the celestial clans, so he certainly had to align himself with them.

“You are right, sir; Linglong has indeed aimed too high.”

Hearing Yun Ye’s response, Long Linglong struggled to grasp the position of the Wanling Group. If Qing Liu Sheng truly disliked these two, why brush it aside so easily?

Perhaps, she thought too much?
